I can't wait until the sequel comes out at the end of this year (2010). Get this game you will love it. I'm not a video game master, but this game is awesome, with the wii remote you actually slash and stab and push bad guys, it is very interactive and that makes it so much fun. It is a first person shooter format and action packed.
I spent some time in the training room first. The game does have different levels, so if Padawan is too easy, you can try Sith Lord difficulty. It just takes a bit of getting used to. dollars)., Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is a good deal of fun.
I think the point of an easier game is to let casual gamers play as well. Now you can. I do wish there had been a single-player dueling mode that I could play when I don't have anybody to play against. I did take a star down for that. Use the Force to throw Stormtroopers. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed lets you play as a Dark Jedi and you kill anyone and anything in your way. However, I haven't found it too difficult so far. In fact, overall, I really think the game makes good use of the Wii controls.
The dueling, so far as I can tell, is only two-player.For the price (just [.]. Ever want to be Darth Vader. I haven't had this much fun with a Star Wars game since Dark Forces.I think some of the other reviewers are right in that the game controls are awkward - particularly those bloody camera angles. There are a lot of force moves (my favorite so far is simply throwing objects at people).However, I don't think the criticism about it being too easy is justified.
The complexity of the game play does not develop slowly as you progress. Why should I be able access Jedi-level training moves when I haven't even played the game as the main character. It's "all too easy" to find yourself running in the opposite direction you want because the camera keeps swirling around you, as if unsure of where it's supposed to be.2. It's simple, addictive and WAY more fun.Dave S.
IMHO, the best games will teach you how to play them while you play them, and don't expect you to know every single thing from the moment you start. Isn't that what any fan of the Star Wars franchise really wants.Yes.Does this game accomplish that.Not really.I'd had the opportunity a few months ago to play around with this game at a friends house, and recall enjoying the experience overall. He hasn't even been introduced yet.I'm so glad that I was able to borrow this game from a friend. The camera never stays behind your character as you move, making it EXTREMELY frustrating when you constantly lose your bearings and have to move around a little so that the camera will take its default position behind you. I hear they are terrific, but since I view the new Star Wars films as decidedly sub-par, I really don't care about the story or character aspects.What I care about is fully enjoying the opportunity to finally wield a lightsaber in a realistic fashion and kick some ass. When my folks surprised my wife and I with a Wii for Xmas, I had no small amount of anticipation at being able to plunge back into heated lightsaber battles. The fact that the game does not have a setting to root the camera behind you (no matter what direction in which you're heading) is an inexcusable error at this point in video gaming history. You can learn all the special moves before you begin the first mission, but retaining all of them so quickly proves near impossible.
Now I don't have feel like I've been ripped off by yet another Star Wars product that just doesn't measure up in any way.Try Boom Blox Bash Party instead. I cannot review this game on its storyline merits. Alas, time had gilded my memories because my second venture was VERY short.I didn't play the game that long, probably around 10 minutes, before I turned off the Wii, took the disc out and said to myself: "Wow, I just saved myself a lot of money and even more frustration." While it's definitely entertaining to swing the lightsaber around, I had a LOT of difficulty replicating the special moves that seemed so simple during the training sessions.There are two major problems:1. Given how many different ways there are to utilize the Wii remote and the Nunchuk, it seems to me that it make MUCH more sense to introduce the special moves gradually so that the player can get used to them and memorize them for the future.
The freedom you get when you use the wiimote nunchuk combo is the definition of fun and I like moving them around so much. I really don't see how anyone could play this game using an old handheld controller. This is gaming at its best. The other 4/5 reviews already nailed it, so I'll keep this short.It's not the best game out there but the graphics are fine and the controls are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. It's the best use of the nunchuk that I have seen. Torturing those storm troppers, Jedi knights and creatures is worth more than the $17 or so that I paid, that's for sure.
I hope they make more Star Wars Wii games soon (Lego and ultra-cartoony Clone Wars don't count). I also think it's too short - it was over way too fast (I was enjoying it) - and the end is sad, though you can see it coming from a mile away. The game is quite fun, worth the play. I agree the "camera" angles are annoying and it's too easy at times. But I like it a lot overall.
